Banners
 

Hello is anyone running a banner script on there site or can anyone recommend one. I've tried added Google banners however it messes up the 68 system. For some reason if you have adsence on your 68 site everything goes in doubles, ie: page views, membership credits everything gets counted twice. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.

thanks

Can you post the code you use for adwords? I don't use it myself, but maybe I can see what is going wrong.

Edit: sorry, I misread - adsense not adwords.

I personally use adsense and help another member on their site and they use adsense as well.

I guess you alredy asked this question in this thread. ;)
Same as Larry, I am using Adsence and have no problem.
If you will wrap Adsence code with {literal} code here {/literal} it must work fine.

We'll today my adsence account was terminated. Google is keeping the $120 dollars I generated this month and they will not tell me what has been violated however, after doing some reading check this out.

Google punishes the publisher not the advertisers. If a competitor website want's to do damage all they need to do is click on another websites ads, 3-5 times a day on the same ad for 3 - 4 days in a row will cause a red flag to go up and Google bans the account automatically. They don't warn you there's a problem, they also don't tell you anything. It's awful and I'm trying to get it resolved however, Google does not cooperate.

I'm pretty upset about this and im trying to find out what to do since I did not do anything to violate anything. What really gets me is the fact that Google has refunded all the money to the effect advertisers which I believe was just one, however, all the rest of the generated revenue they are keeping! I've been reading this year over 30 thousand people have been blocked by Google and Google can block your account up to 6 months after you do something they don't like. So if you are letting your earning build up cash out ASAP.

I've been really getting into this and you'd be amazed what I've found. Google is huge right now however, this adwords is 90% of their revenue. Since adwords now have a very low effective rate eventually it's going to catch up to Google. I believe this is why they are trying to buy up other revenue avenues to secure their future. The YouTube thing would be one of these.

Arg I'm upset.

Ok, now im confused. CB, are you looking for a banner ad system where you can display and monitor your own ads (ie ones you are inc ontrol of and charge other people to display on your site) or are you referring to money making ad systems offered by other companies such as google adsense?

Personally I use both and havent had a problem with either but I get squat for traffic.

CB, I have put many posts on here about how much I cant stand Google. They appear in the news for years, how hip and trendy they are because they have pinball machines and stuff. So what, as you have just experienced, they are corporate thieves and yes buying youtube, setting up gmail, all these things are corporate initiatives to help keep the shareholder happy. Gone are the days where it was the objective to keep the customer happy. Im sure there are people who will swear by google, well im sick of them. Im sick of every website I go on having google or adwords on it. Give us web back google!! They have stolen your money and theres nothing you can do. Good old google.

Maffo your right, I never really saw this side of Google until now. I think I even know who sabotaged my site because when I go to his site now he's got me blocked from viewing his adwords. Either way Google is not doing anything, they rather just block me out then to deal with it.

Larry, I'd like to run my own banner system, basically I want to charge a flat fee and have a way for banners to rotate and keep a little stats on them like impressions and clicks.

I have this system now built into Joomla however, I cant seem to port it into the 68.

CB If you would like my banner mod I will email it you, no probs.

It works fine but there are a few limits to it.

What you can do..

Place your own banners
Allow customers to purchase banner spaces and upload ads
Rotate the banners

What you cant do...

Upload flash or animated banners.


The module works fine, we have it running on a number of sites. I even have it so it can upload other files like flash and animated gifs, but I didnt work it into the module. Fact was I in a huge rush with it. Im thinking of maybe rewriting the whole thing from scratch. God knows!!

Well Google is an interesting topic.
I opened the new thread for this under Off Topic as I don’t think Questions & Support is the right place for this conversation. You will find my opinion there.
